Wine Review: This deep purple colored Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a black raspberry and blackberry bouquet with hints of tomato leaf. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, balanced, round and juicy. The flavor profile is blend of black raspberry and stony minerality along with notes of black cherry and oolong tea. We also detected hints of vanilla and gentle oak. The finish is dry and moderate dusty tannins are nicely sustained. The Panel would pair this Cab with New York strip steak or braised short ribs. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Deep garnet-ruby in color, the 2018 Knights Valley Reserve invites with deep aromas of black cherries and kirsch lifted with a touch of blue flowers and mint. Concentrated flavors of black currant, blackberries and cassis coat the palate with notes of warm spices, vanilla and mocha. This is a bold Cabernet richly textured with polished tannins, focused in crushed dark fruit, and underlain with a fine tension that extends the long, earthy finish.
